Workforce Development, Training Futures

Northern Virginia Family Service offers Training Futures.  Training Futures is a program designed to work with low-income, unemployed or under paid individuals to make the move from dead-end jobs to stable, professional work. 

The  Training Futures program provides a 25-week professional development curriculum that is designed to move people from low-paying retail and service jobs to white-collar careers.  The program teaches computer skills, business English, business math, keyboarding, filing, professional development workshops, medical terminology and business communication skills.

Trainees receive performance reviews and are expected to dress professionally, arrive on time, complete office assignments and interact professionally with staff and fellow trainees. Trainees are also provided one-on-one support during their job search with assistance in resume writing, interviewing and business etiquette.  Additionally, trainees gain valuable direct business work experience through the internship program.
